Wouldn’t mix the two. If the Pacific has chyrid or a bacteria that your CTF isn’t adapted to defend against then you could lose both animals. 10 gallons is small for 1 tree frog, that’d be really close quarters for two. Mixing different species is generally believed to only produce stress from negative competition for food and space on top of the whole disease factor. There are several threads here arguing the idea, but no matter the animal, most people believe that mixing species is amature at best.

I’d still wait some time to observe the new frog for health reasons. Most illnesses will reveal themselves in 3 months. If you pass that then you should be alright with the exception of a chyrid infection that can show little or now symptoms for 6months or so. Losing both would really suck.
